    Wow!! Look at these! Only Tim Burton (Planet of the Apes [2001]) could whip up bizarre, dreamlike imagery like this. He has a style all to his own and I hope he never stops.

    Tweedledum reminds me of Rush Limbaugh.

    Did they even LOOK at my audition tape?!

    I really like how they are doing the Red Queen and White Queen.

    Tweedle Dum and Dee are fairly creepy, though.

    after watching In Treatment, Season 1, and Mia Wasikowska’s stunning performance as Sophie, my usual giddy excitement over Tim Burton’s films is exponentially greater. Can’t wait.
